Fast and secure translation on your local machine with a GUI
Interestingly, I think this is actually related to the offline translation features built into Firefox. Both are products of "Project Bergamot", but the Mozilla-maintained version was later merged into the Firefox application:

https://hacks.mozilla.org/2022/06/training-efficient-neural-...
https://github.com/mozilla/firefox-translations
https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/toolkit/components/t...
Extra webpage with screenshot and links, impossible to search for normally:
https://translatelocally.com/downloads/
Does one thing and does it well.
Oh— For downloading models, it's much easier to pipe/`xargs` `translateLocally --available-models` into `translateLocally -d` than go through the GUI.

- Traditional rule-based translation. Seems to work pretty well, but no good desktop frontend.

- Works, but crashy desktop app.

- Proprietary, subscription trialware.

Firefox 118
It's possible with Neural Machine Translation models. Before being integrated into Firefox itself local translation was already available through the TranslateLocally add-on, see: https://browser.mt/

Linguist 5.0 - addon to translate and learn languages with respect to privacy
my understanding is this is using the same backend for the offline translator (aka Bergamot Project), it also supports online translation services (Google, DeepL, Bing, etc.)

Need to translate a 200 page book
Then you can run the OCR text through either a google, deepl, or one of the other commercial services to translate as a first pass. They all sell API access to the engines for bulk translation. Or you can use an open source engine like the new Bergamot Engine
-
Firefox Translations doesn't use the cloud
It is running a full transformer type neural network on your cpu, it needs all the speed it can get.
It’s because the translation engine requires at least SSSE3.1 instructions[1]. These are translated to wasm SIMD instructions[2] which are only enabled by browsers if the underlying hardware is there to execute these at least somewhat efficient.

Show HN: Using stylometry to find HN users with alternate accounts
> But then you have to send your original comment to a translation company so there are privacy concerns there too.
There are modern offline translation systems available such as Project Bergamot https://browser.mt/

How do I remove this ugly annoying translation bar that pops up on various sites in FireFox? It doesn't show up in Chrome on the same site, and I have not installed any translation extensions as far as I know.
https://browser.mt/ ("Bergamot" was the technical name for the project.)

What do you believe Firefox is missing?
Already exists!

Skill for translating words/phrases?
But it'd also be a good idea to check out https://translatelocally.com/ which is a UI for https://github.com/browsermt/bergamot-translator, used in Mozilla's offline MT browser extension. It's deep neural MT, but surpisingly undemanding (runs just fine on CPU's). Not yet in apt and such, but translatelocally at least has dpkg's and newest version should be usable from the CLI.

Mozilla reaffirms that Firefox will continue to support current content blockers
Consider Firefox translations, this is a completely offline machine translation extension based on this project.
